BOYS' INSTITUTE

CAMPAIGN FOR BUILDING

EXTENSION.

la connection with the \Vellington Boys' Institute Building Extension Fund' campaign, inaugurated pome months ago, it was considered advisable to call a halt in the campaign until the carillon appeal was completed. The influenza epidemic coming immediately thereafter necessitated a further delay, but the collectors are again at work, with a result that the total has now beeu raised in promises and donations to a sum exceeding £5400. It is proposed to have a series of entertainments to further augment the fund. The Ladies' Auxiliary have also taken the matter in hand, and to date have collected a sum of £365. With a Street Day and some further donations still to be received, it is hoped that the result aimed at despite the various setbacks will be achieved. The collectors are all in good heart, and hope soon to undertake a further canvass of the various suburbs. Donations ye acknowledged as under:—M'Carthy Trust, £500; Mr. A. B.
